CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 168

Which of the following licensing concepts is based on the number of logical processors a server has?

Answer options

• A. Per core
• B. Per socket
• C. Per instance
• D. Per server

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'Per core', as this licensing model counts each logical processor individually, which directly correlates with the number of cores in the server. The other options, such as 'Per socket' and 'Per server', license based on different metrics like physical sockets or the entire server, rather than the logical processors specifically.
